HARDAWAY. 

1685 — 1745. 

\ LMOST every Hardaway has heard from his ancestor 
the story of the kidnapped boy who was found on 
the ship. 

About 1685 a ship owned by Joseph Thomas, a Quaker, 
of Philadelphia, sailed from England to America. 

On board of that ship was a little kidnapped boy, who was 
dressed in green silk velvet trimmed with gilt ; the boy 
seemed tenderly nurtured, and was too young to give his 
name. 

Joseph Thomas, the owner of the ship, bestowed upon the 
boy the name of Thomas Hardaway. 

Mr. Thomas made affidavit of the facts, and left the suit 
of clothes, with the affidavit, in custody of the clerk of the 
court (supposed to be Henrico). 

The late Col. Robert A. Hardaway, of Columbus, Ga., 
who had collected quite a mass of information in regard to 
the Hardaway family, stated, in a letter to the author, that 
this information of the first Hardaway was authentic from 
public documents. 

Joseph Thomas, the Quaker, educated Thomas Harda- 
way. He married Jane Drewry, of Drewry's Bluff, Vir- 
ginia, and settled at Osbornis, Chesterfield county, Va. 
Their children intermarried with colonial families of respect,

wealth and arms-bearing people. From Thomas Hardaway 
and his wife, Jane Drewry, I suppose all the Hardaways in 
America are descended. 

Tradition says the name was originally MacBeth, and 
they claim descent from that royal family. The boy was 
kidnapped, and held for a ransom, but his captors, perhaps 
getting in a close place, had put him in the hold of the out- 
going ship to get rid of him. Tn that day of slow travel and 
sparse mail it is little wonder that the boy was not recovered, 
but made his home in the new world. 

We find from Register of Bristol Parish on James River, 
Chesterfield county, Vu.. : 

"In 1/33 the vestry of Bristol Parish, jN'lay 4th, met at the 
house of Mr. Thomas Hardaway. near the chapel at the 
Ferry, and agreed to build the brick church at Well's Hill, 
now known as Blandford Church, in Petersburg." 

For more than twenty years Thomas Hardaway was a 
member of Blandford Church, though known then as Brick 
Church, and previously as Ferry Chapel, then located in 
Chesterfield county. 

Thomas Hardaway died in 1745.
